An augmented reality surgical system includes a head mounted display (HMD) with a see-through display screen, a motion sensor, a camera, and computer equipment. The motion sensor outputs a head motion signal indicating measured movement of the HMD. The computer equipment computes the relative location and orientation of reference markers connected to the HMD and to the patient based on processing a video signal from the camera. The computer equipment generates a three dimensional anatomical model using patient data created by medical imaging equipment, and rotates and scales at least a portion of the three dimensional anatomical model based on the relative location and orientation of the reference markers, and further rotate at least a portion of the three dimensional anatomical model based on the head motion signal to track measured movement of the HMD. The rotated and scaled three dimensional anatomical model is displayed on the display screen.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
3. The system of claim 2, wherein the central band is adapted to be length adjustable.
4. The system of claim 3, wherein one end of the central band is attached to the housing and the other end is attached to the adjustable side band.
5. The system of claim 4, wherein the adjustable side band includes a first lateral band extending from one side of the housing and a second lateral band extending from the other side of the housing.
7. The system of claim 1, further comprising at least one front facing camera adapted to be connected to a gesture interpretation module that interprets hand gestures of the user.
8. The system of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of patient tracking markers adapted to be attached to the patient and positioned to be visible to a position tracking system, wherein the computer equipment is configured to rotate and scale the generated three dimensional anatomical image based on the determined locations and orientations of the reference marker and the patient tracking markers.
12. The system of claim 11, wherein the central band is adapted to be length adjustable.
13. The system of claim 12, wherein one end of the central band is attached to the housing and the other end is attached to the adjustable side band.
14. The system of claim 13, wherein the adjustable side band includes a first lateral band extending from one side of the housing and a second lateral band extending from the other side of the housing.
16. The system of claim 10, further comprising at least one front facing camera adapted to be connected to a gesture interpretation module that interprets hand gestures of the user.
17. The system of claim 10, further comprising a plurality of patient tracking markers adapted to be attached to the patient and positioned to be visible to the camera tracking system, wherein the computer equipment is configured to rotate and scale the generated three dimensional anatomical image based on the determined locations and orientations of the reference marker and the patient tracking markers.
